@Nick_Decap Took the opportunity to reread this a little more calmly today. After the barrage of the last 5 weeks, there's more capacity in my blood vessels to contain a few extra surges; I'm not entirely disillusioned though. Your candidate getting canceled for a social media post, me not even having a candidate to vote for so I spoiled my ballot, we are in the aftermath, highly participatory as far as this election goes, albeit fairly much silenced because of the riding we happen to live in. With the passage of another five weeks, I'm curious Nick, what you would posit as an addendum to the article?
OSMOND-JONES: Anatomy of a meltdown inside the BC Conservatives westernstandard.news/opinion…

I don't think I ever doubted that the BC Conservatives would end up with a majority this election; I did have them pegged at 53 myself, and looking at the results, it does seem that with the very significant drop in voter turnout, the NDP suffered more from that. It's got to be disappointing to be a Green supporter and see only two seats out of 11%. My aspirational desire to see the Greens, CentreBC and OneBC gain seats has obviously not been realized in any way shape or form, and the fact that nearly 4 and 10 people that did vote are still voting NDP is very worrisome. Thankfully that should be about 5 years away. And yes, I think they are literally going to need to say right up front now, the next election is the fall of 2031, because they can't have it in 4 years overlapping with municipals again, and nobody wants it early, and nobody deserves to have it called early.

Glad to have helped on this campaign in the social media, comms and research side of the equation. Third largest popular vote percentage for a OneBC candidate.
Dear friends, Thank you. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Three weeks ago most of you had never heard my name. A rancher from Grand Forks, with no political machine behind him, stepped into an election with a brand-new party and almost no time. You took a chance on me anyway. You put signs on your fences, handed out cards at the coffee shop, drove neighbours to the polls, sat through a long forum, came out to town halls in Okanagan Falls, Grand Forks and Princeton, and shared our posts until they had been seen more than 125,000 times on facebook. I will never forget it. A special thank-you to everyone who came out to the Legion on Thursday, here at home. WHAT WE DID TOGETHER 1,495 votes across Boundary-Similkameen (initial count), from a standing start in under three weeks. Just shy of 7% in the riding. One of the top three OneBC vote totals in British Columbia, out of 33 OneBC candidates. Volunteers and supporters in every corner of a riding that stretches 325 km along Highway 3, from Princeton to Christina Lake. We didn't win this time. But we planted something real, and we did it the right way: by showing up, listening, and talking about plans, not attacking people. Our leader, Dallas Brodie, said it best the morning after: OneBC has moved the conversation in this province in a remarkably short time, and opened discussions that simply weren't open before. That is a massive accomplishment, and it belongs to you. Our work will continue. THE VOICES THAT STAYED WITH ME At every stop people asked hard, honest questions. One supporter put it simply: "Did your quality of life improve?" For too many families in our towns, the honest answer is no. Life is more expensive, our roads and health care are stretched, and BC has gone from a $5.7-billion surplus forecast in 2022 to a record $13.8-billion deficit today. Those questions don't go away because an election is over. THE VOTERS WHO STAYED HOME Across British Columbia, fewer than half of the 3.7 million registered voters cast a ballot on election day (about 48% in the initial count). In our own riding, roughly 17,000 registered voters stayed home. The true measure of this province was lost in the 52% who didn't vote. The true voice of this province includes every one of them. A province that is united, with common goals and a common direction, needs everyone at the table. The public has spoken, and the new government now has a duty to deliver what people actually want and need. Our job doesn't end on election day. It starts now: to stay engaged, ask the hard questions, and hold our representatives to account, respectfully and persistently. WHAT COMES NEXT We are just getting started. We learned a great deal in three weeks, and with time we can do much more. In the coming weeks we'll be in touch about this. A thank-you get-together for volunteers and supporters (details coming soon). Building a strong, year-round OneBC team in every community in Boundary-Similkameen. Staying involved on the issues that matter here: cost of living, Highway 3, rural health care, forestry and water. If we do not learn from history, we are doomed to repeat it. So let's learn, stay together, and be ready. Today, let's all step forward, be heard, and be counted. With deep gratitude, Keith Pomeroy OneBC, Boundary-Similkameen Facebook: facebook.com/share/1MXeEYs6w…

9 years of the BC NDP 😱 We have suffered and sacrificed under their tyranny. They took our Hospice from us ($8 million of our assets) because we refused to kill our patients with MAiD. We stood to defend authentic Palliative Care and we have survived 😢 Tonight we have HOPE! Hope that the new BC Conservative government will allow us to build a Sanctuary Hospice - to honour and affirm our patients lives and care for them until their natural end. ♥️

Do you see the bigger picture of what just happened in British Columbia? If you think the few months were simply political infighting, you’re missing something much bigger. We had a democratically elected Conservative leader. A real conservative. Kerry-Lynne Findlay had grassroots support, a clear vision, and something rare in Canadian politics: the backbone to follow through. But there was a problem. She wasn’t aligned with the federal Liberals or the globalist agenda I believe is driving this country. She proposed a Western coalition to challenge federal overreach, fight the gun grab, defend freedom of religion and expression, enshrine property rights, and protect digital free speech. She wasn’t promising to fight back. She was preparing to do it. That threatened more than a few political careers. A provincial government willing to challenge Ottawa? A leader who couldn’t be controlled by the usual power brokers? That was a problem. Then came the operatives, lobbyists, and party insiders. The backroom scheming, attempts to undermine her leadership, and ultimately blackmail. I watched it unfold. And eventually, they got what they wanted. Goodbye KLF. Goodbye grassroots democracy. Party bosses installed their own leader without a membership vote, then moved to rewrite the constitution so he wouldn’t face a leadership race. The members elected a leader. Insiders replaced her and moved to change the rules to keep their man in power. No vote. No accountability. No voice for members. All TWO DAYS before an election writ dropped. Just another coincidence? Now zoom out. This is bigger than BC. Canada is being pushed toward centralized power, diminished freedoms, and increasingly powerless citizens. Call it globalism. Call it the political ruling class. Call it whatever you want. Look what’s happening. Mass immigration is transforming Canada, while election laws don’t require voters to produce documentary proof of citizenship. You can declare yourself a citizen without producing citizenship documents at the ballot box. In BC, you can vote without presenting your own ID if another voter vouches for you. Citizenship determines who shapes this country’s future. Why aren’t we demanding stronger verification? Non-citizens cannot legally vote. But a prohibition and the safeguards enforcing it are different things. Now ask yourself. If powerful political interests are shaping this country’s direction, how do you keep the population from revolting? Give them the illusion of choice. Change the jerseys. Change the faces. Give people a few victories. No more free drugs. A marginal tax adjustment. A handful of promises. The sheep celebrate. The sheep go back to sleep. Different shepherd. Same direction. Globalists advance their agenda. Government promises to reverse it, but doesn’t. Elections come and go, but the same insiders, lobbyists, and powerful interests remain. Canadians keep fighting over which jersey deserves their loyalty. The greatest political illusion is convincing people they’re in control while ensuring their choices never threaten those holding power. Give the sheep just enough hope. Just enough change. Just enough outrage at the other team. Keep them divided, distracted, and fighting each other instead of questioning who’s directing the herd. How many broken promises? Political betrayals? Conservative governments that conserve absolutely nothing? How much worse does Canada need to get before people wake up? Real change doesn’t come from changing jerseys. It comes from changing who holds power. The power brokers won this round in BC. But here’s what they should fear. The day the sheep realize they’re being herded is the day the shepherds lose control. Stop worshipping parties. Stop celebrating crumbs. Stop mistaking a change of jerseys for a change of direction. The illusion only works as long as we believe it. Wake up, Canada.

It's up to the people in the riding of Boundary-Similkameen to remind @DonegalWilson when and if she flip-flops again to sit as an independent or join another party for 4 days why they actually elected her. I am but one of those people...
Accountability Commitment - Candidate for MLA – Boundary-Similkameen Keith Pomeroy Grand Forks, BC October 21, 2026 Dear Voters, In writing this letter I am acknowledging your frustration with the many elected MLA in BC who abandoned the party that endorsed them as candidates in the 2024 provincial election. I share that frustration. Together, we witnessed the undoing of the legitimate and democratically elected leadership of a party, to the point that it was reported in the news that there was an alleged extortion attempt, which is a criminal offence if true. Therefore, in light of my candidacy to be elected as MLA in the riding of Boundary-Similkameen, and as a candidate duly endorsed by OneBC, I hereby declare the following: 1. I pledge and commit that I will not “cross the floor” to another party if I am elected as a Member of the Legislative Assembly; I will not change party affiliation by my own initiative, or by any recruitment efforts of a party that did not endorse me on or prior to the official nomination deadline of Oct 3rd, 2026 2. I will also not sit as an independent as a result of my own decision or choosing 3. If circumstances cause my own decision to initiate leaving or otherwise abandoning the party that endorsed me, then I further pledge and commit to resign my seat as MLA within 60 days, and thus trigger a by-election in the riding. I reserve the right to submit a nomination package in the by-election. These commitments are made in recognition of the importance of voter trust, which includes having confidence that when they vote for Keith Pomeroy as the OneBC candidate for MLA, and that if elected, I won’t “jump ship” and go to bat for another party. I make this commitment freely, publicly and without reservation. Sincerely, _______________________________ Keith Pomeroy OneBC Candidate for MLA, Boundary-Similkameen (Signed copy attached.)

Seems the only shirts not allowed in women’s professional sports leagues today are ones that stand up for women.
So the dagger shirt is fine. The one with the chromosomes gets you ejected from the arena. (For the record, all the shirts should be allowed. It’s America. We still have free speech here.)

Having seen one of these shirts in the flesh recently on October 3rd, I'm sort of keen to acquire one for my wife at the very least. She needs more excitement in her life. Maybe she too can get kicked out of places? I did not realize this was a thing. I thought that only happened if it was a MAGA hat? Although, I did learn during this provincial election, that you actually can discriminate against someone and refuse service normally available to anybody else on the basis of political belief or association. Hence why signs for a candidate that lives in Grand Forks had to be acquired in Kamloops, a major inconvenience, and quite possibly enough to affect the outcome of the election in some way. @spydersoul222
We are here in Portland to take a stand. Women are women. We cannot be erased. An @xx_xyathletics shirt is not hate speech. We are being assaulted but will not be deterred.

Here it is, heading into the last day, and we get the "too close to call" memorandum. Going back to October 7th, here were my thoughts regarding an "aspirational" election outcome. Mainly I tried to be as realistic as possible on the BC Conservative haul, while spreading around the rest based on probable support and candidates available to elect. 18 NDP 6 Green 5 CentreBC 11 OneBC 53 Conservatives (preferably the ones that want to do conservative things) I doubt I will be too far off on the Conservatives - the rest - probably way off. Again the key word is "aspirational". If it's 53-39-1 or some minor variation, then what's the point? All the same BS will continue under a new name. Voters have a generational opportunity here to shake things up and vote in some replacements to the complacent mediocre parties and power structures that have been screwing everything up in this province for the last 20 years.

Am I provocative? I better be. We need to provoke politicians into making legislative changes to protect kids from gender ideology and child transition.
🎙️ I RECORDED MY ENTIRE INTERVIEW WITH iNFOnews. Here’s what they asked and what I actually said. A reporter called today about Pavneet Singh, Loyal Wooldridge and @One_BCHQ. Notice how they try to get me to agree that @BillboardChris and @Dallas_Brodie are “provocative” figures. Instead of a few carefully selected quotes, here’s the full, unedited conversation. Listen and judge for yourself. 👇

Even in a small place like Coalmont @One_BCHQ is making it big. Population here is maybe 100 full timers. Coalmont is of many small communities in the riding of Boundary-Similkameen which stretches some 325 km by road from east to west. similkameenvalley.com/places… Thank you for your support! Final voting day is tomorrow, Saturday Oct 24th.

Only 2 more days of campaigning in the Tri-Cities! I’m looking forward to a full night’s sleep, and I’m sure residents are ready for a break from election signs. But remember: campaigning is essentially applying for a job, without pay unless you’re elected. 🧵1/4

Not every paper would run an ad that says "End Land Acknowledgements." @DeltaOptimist did, and let the voters decide. That's what a free press looks like. Thank you. 📷

Who is this useless idiot? NDP hacks? Give your heads a shake. The idiotic decision to drop the bridge that was already planned is what has wasted the money and caused the delays. There is no reason for you people to even exist at this point - go away. Like seriously take off @WeBuildBC
